Shipping Companies for Yacht USA - UK

[Roach1948]

Can anybody recommend the names of good shipping firms that can handle a 35' 9ton yacht from Maine USA to the UK - I need to get some quotes.

PS if is cheaper yacht can be moved down from Maine too. So interested in firms that also operate outside New England.

Peters & May in Southampton seem to be very experienced when it comes to shipping yachts across the Atlantic.

Also a company called Dockwise, although I think they tend to concentrate on larger yachts.

Many thanks for that. I'll drop them a line on Monday.

Have you read this months Yachting WOrld (November)? There is an article devoted to shipping yachts across the Atlantic (that has photos of mine being loaded).

I used YSL Yacht Shipping Limited after Peters and May's boat was delayed. I doubt there is much to choose between the two companies
